AUSTIN, TEXAS—Timothy Pugh of Queens College in New York announced at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology that his team had unearthed a 700-year-old council house, constructed with two colonnaded halls that stood side by side, at the Chaken Itza Maya site of Nixtun-Ch’ich’ in Guatemala.

Traditionally buyers tend to avoid purchasing houses in which someone has died or in which there has been a history of strange occurrences, yet real estate agents have recently seen a surge of interest in the buying of such properties due to their potentially haunted nature.

PaganSpace Announcements

You guys have been so fantastic the past few months that I don't really have anything to gripe about but I'll touch on a few topics anyway...LOL

All beliefs are welcome on the site:I knowsomehave recently aired their issues with me for allowing Christians on the site but let me just say this, ALL beliefs are welcome and that is not going to change; it's the purpose of the site; bringing people of all beliefs together, instead of dividing people into their own corners. And there has never been a time that a Christian has hindered anyone from carrying on a Pagan Topic.

Chat Issues: I know arguments arise from time-to-time but it is not acceptable when it turns into harassing behavior. If you cannot police your own behavior like an adult in chat then tick the green button, log off and cool off because I will not allow abusive behavior to go on in there any more than I will allow it on the other areas of the site. So, think before you type because I do not want to remove people simply because they cannot keep a cool head in a chat room. If you do not like someone then USE THE IGNORE feature, it's there for a reason.

Profile Image Issues:
If you're having an issue uploading a profile image there's a notice in the top center on your profile page, it reads: If you are having an issue changing your profile pic then use the Firefox Browser. It appears the latest IE (Internet Explorer) update is causing issues with profile picture uploads.
